Released, then shot to death

The 22-year-old man shot to death on Halloween in San Francisco’s Bayview, initially identified as Malik Fennedy, turns out to have been someone else — a convicted carjacker named Malik Sohan who had just recently been released from lockup.

Sohan was 16 when he was convicted of carjacking as an adult and sent off to serve a nine-year term at the California Youth Authority. He was released from state custody not long before he was gunned down late Friday at Griffith Street and Navy Road. Whoever killed him is still at large.

As for the name confusion, the medical examiner’s office now admits it put out the wrong ID, but has yet to officially correct it.
